Deductions & credits

Thank you for the quick response. However, your explanation does not resolve my problem.  My Foreign Taxes come from a 1099-DIV line 7, as for country it is RIC and is less than $300. I re-ran the program in the Deduction and Credit section as I had done when I initially did my taxes.  After re-running the program I, of course, came up with the same AGI as my initial 1040 sent to the IRS.  IRS does not agree with my AGI to a short fall amount equaling the Foreign Taxes Paid. The IRS letter states the following;  "The computation for line 11 (1040), Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) should include $$$ from line 8 of the 1040 and line 10 of the Schedule 1. "  The $$$ amount is the Foreign Tax Paid amount. In summary, according to the IRS the Foreign Tax amount should have been reported as a separate income!

 

So, my question is this, is your program, as related, to Foreign Tax Paid in error or is the IRS in error? 

 

This issue needs to be resolved because I will continue to receive future Foreign Tax Paid in my 1099's and makes me question the accuracy of your program.

 

Thank you.
